FAQs

How do I clean the cultivator?

Use a brush or cloth to remove soil and debris after each use. You can rinse it with water and dry thoroughly.

What is the handle made of?

The handle is made of plastic.

What is the purpose of the leather wrist strap?

The wrist strap provides a secure grip and reduces hand fatigue.

Can I use this cultivator on very hard soil?

It's best to pre-loosen extremely hard soil with a different tool, such as a garden fork, before using the hand cultivator.

What are the dimensions of the cultivator?

The dimensions are 24.20cm x 7.10cm x 6.80cm.

What type of steel are the tines made of?

The tines are made of epoxy-coated carbon steel.

Is the handle replaceable?

While the handle is not specifically designed for easy replacement, it may be possible to replace it with a similar handle if it becomes damaged.

Troubleshooting

Tines are bent or damaged.

Avoid prying on rocks or hard objects. If tines are bent, try to gently bend them back with pliers. Severe damage may require replacement.

Handle becomes loose or detached.

Inspect the ferrule. If the handle is loose, it might require tightening or, if damaged, replacing.

Rust appears on the tines.

Clean the rust with a wire brush and apply oil to prevent further corrosion. Ensure the cultivator is stored in a dry place.
